Chapter 84: Flowers in the Mirror
scene with her hand, and sped away clinging to the ground.Just after she left, the gray-haired old man arrived here. He raised his eyes to look around, but there was no sign of anyone.>He had an expe...Not every place has a sky.
But when human beings look up, they always seem to find a similar feeling.
The Mystic Realm, the Xin Wei region.
Floating limbs and blood scattered across the ground bore witness to a brutal battle that had just ended.
Several young monks looked at each other, and finally, the most composed-looking monk stepped forward and bowed to a woman in a neat blue martial uniform in front of them: “Thank you, senior sister, for your help. Otherwise, we...”
He turned his head to look at the body pieced together by his junior brothers and sisters. It was their senior brother who had brought them to the Illusory Realm for training, who had perished alongside a powerful sea creature, never again able to guide them.
His voice was filled with sorrow: "The grace of rebirth, I will never forget."
A woman in blue martial garb was dissecting a sea beast, separating the flesh and taking out the only somewhat valuable bone spurs. She casually said, "There's no need to thank me, we're all from the same sect."
This woman was beautiful, and her movements were brisk. With a sharp bone knife, she nimbly moved within the carcass of the sea beast.
At this time, a female monk with a slightly round face glanced at her several times and hesitated: “Are you Zhu Biqiong... Senior Sister Zhū”
She originally wanted to call her "Junior Sister Zhu," because if you really thought about it, she had entered the sect earlier. But considering the other party's just-displayed combat prowess, she changed it to "Senior Sister" at the last moment.
Zhu Bi Qiong gracefully placed the few bone spurs aside, putting them away in her storage pouch before looking at her: "You are..."
A round-faced female cultivator said, “I am Song Wenhe, a disciple of Elder Zhang Changlao. I once saw you beside Senior Sister Su Yao about three years ago.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Actually, she vaguely recognized Zhu Biqiong not because of their meeting three years ago. It was because at the Grand Sea Sacrifice Ceremony, she saw Zhu Biqiong being brought up and also remembered how that Qi Kingdom prodigy had fought bravely for his friend until death.
To be honest, she didn't believe the rumors circulating about Jiang Wang's rumored magic abilities that were making waves and causing quite a stir among many people at Diaohai Lou.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't consider how to overthrow the current world or exterminate humanity, but for a friend far away in Dihai Building, he ventured alone into the sea, argued his point before a group of powerful individuals, and even went to the Demon Realm to atone for him with his life... At the cost of almost dying, he saved a "waste" who had no value at the time. What kind of magic user would do this Would the demon race agree
Even she had no ill will towards Jiang Wang himself.
While the outward propaganda may say otherwise, having witnessed the truth firsthand, Jiang Wang hadn't done anything truly wrong in the Nansha Islands. The infamous battle on Tianya Forum against Diling Lou was ultimately just Jiang Wang seeking justice.
When reason fails to prevail, and pleas for redemption in the killing fields of the Netherworld go unanswered by the Sea Race, only a duel to the death remains.
But to think of the scene at the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony, it certainly wouldn't be something Sister Zhu would want to recall.
So, after the other party acknowledged their identity, Song Wenhe stopped bringing it up and instead shifted the conversation to a past event from three years ago...and by mentioning Zhu Suyao, she was able to subtly bring herself closer to Zhu Biqiong.
This is where she's clever.
Even Song Wenhe couldn't help but hesitate about Zhu Biqiong's identity at first. Even anyone who had ever met Zhu Biqiong would find it difficult to connect the innocent girl from the past, the fragile woman on Tianya Stage who was on her last breath, with the powerful and ruthless warrior in front of them.
She could clearly see how those sea creatures were killed just now.
Can an experience between life and death truly bring about such enormous change
Among the young disciples of the Diao Hai Lou present, some had also participated in the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony. However, only Song Wenhe recognized Zhu Biqiong. It was truly as if heaven and earth had separated then and now.
It's completely unlike the same person.
"Oh." In response to Song Wenhe's greeting, Zhu Biqiong simply nodded and said casually, "Meeting in the Illusory Realm is considered fate."
The total number of Elder positions in the Diuhai Tower is twenty-four, with twelve being practical Elders. Even after Hai Zongming and Bi Zhu Po passed away, the number has only been filled, never expanded.
As soon as one mentions a surname, it is enough to pinpoint the target individual.
But he is just a practical elder, nothing to say about him.
She can remain calm and composed.
But these young cultivators present could not be so calm and composed.
Who doesn't know, the current Bamboo Biqiong is a direct disciple of Elder Jinghai Gu Huaixin!
Gu HuaiXin is the fourth elder of the entire DingHaiLou.
Today, Zhu Biqiong's status in Diao Hailou is no less than that of Xu Yuan, and even surpasses those renowned figures like Bao Song and Yang Liu.

However, ever since Elder Gu's public announcement of taking on a disciple, she has remained out of the public eye, unusually low-key. To think that I would encounter her here in the Illusory Realm today! If we were to form a bond now, it wouldn't be amiss to say that it was a blessing in disguise!
Several conceited male monks immediately noticed him. Though they were on the battlefield of the Illusory Realm, each one of them stood with elegant bearing, their brows righteous and their eyes full of spirit.
The cultivator who spoke first looked surprised: "So you are Master Zhu Biqiong. I've long admired your name and held you in high regard! I didn't expect to meet you here today! It's just... a little embarrassing, I hope you won't laugh at me."
Seeing Zhu Biqiong's gaze, he explained again: "Look at my brain, I even forgot to introduce myself. I am Fang Pu, a true disciple of Elder Liu, the head elder of the sect. To meet my senior sister today is truly an honor!"
"Which Elder Liu" Zhu Biqiong asked casually.
Of the eight elders who guarded the sect, two were surnamed Liu.
>
Fang Pu calmly threw out the answer: "The one ranked higher."
His master, Liu Yu, was the second most influential among the eight guardians of the Dizhai Lou. As the influence of the Zhenhai Alliance grew steadily, there was a chance that he would further advance and become the fifth Jinghai elder!
He intentionally refrained from revealing it at first to deepen Zhu Biqiong's impression. And with this answer, he wanted to tell her that his background was also extraordinary, not far from hers.
Zhubi qiong only nodded slightly, then said nothing more.
Fang Pu was about to bring up the topic again when a tall and handsome young cultivator beside her interjected, "Senior Sister Zhu is also here for the trial in the Illusory Realm Alone"
Zhu Biqiong changed her knife and began to peel the skin off another head of the ox-shaped sea beast. This beast's hide could be made into armor, which sold for a good price; it was the only valuable thing on its body.
I casually replied, "Yes, like you guys, I'm here to train."
It's hard to imagine a prodigy like Xu Yuan collecting spoils of this level. But such a bamboo bi qiong makes them feel less distant.
A handsome young monk, with a captivating smile at the most alluring angle, said: "Traveling alone is too tiring, I can't even take a nap. I wonder if Senior Sister needs help with some chores I'm very skilled at dealing with animal hides."
Several other male monks who intended to open their mouths were about to spit blood. They didn't expect that this kid was so good at playing along. They thought it would be a stage for each person to show off their skills, but this guy actually wanted to end the competition as soon as he opened his mouth!
But in such a situation, it is inconvenient to speak again.
In her heart, she could only hate, but on her face, she remained calm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Who is your master" Zhu Biqiong asked casually.
The handsome monk walked forward a few steps, already naturally intending to help deal with the sea beast's corpse, and said: "Head of the Protector Sect Elder, surname Deng."
In terms of identity, he is no worse than Fang Pu. In terms of appearance, he surpasses him by many times.
When it comes to flirting and charming women, he considers himself a prodigy at the Diao Hailing.
He was extremely composed and full of confidence.
“Oh.” Zhú Bì Qióng nodded. “When I run into Elder Deng, I’ll tell him. Since you like to do the dirty work so much, I should send you to help in the kitchen.”
The handsome monk stood awkwardly in place.
Zhubi qiong didn't care about his mood, she was just busy with her own things.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before she was under the tutelage of Bibi Zhu, where were all these handsome young men vying for her attention
Elder Bi Zhu Po was only a practical elder, and even under Elder Bi Zhu Po, she was extremely unremarkable.
>
At that time, some eyes were undoubtedly on her elder sister, who was exceptionally gifted. Of course, there were probably also some malicious glances that her sister kept far away, never letting them touch her, I suppose
In the end, even the elder sister fell for Hu Shaomeng.
These men...
A sharp voice echoed in my mind, screaming: "What's the point of keeping these moths and butterflies alive Kill them all!"
Zhu Biqing did not respond to the voice, only silently peeled her skin in silence.
Life is about cultivation, fighting, accumulating resources, and repeating the cycle. That's all there is to it.
... work as hard as that person, be just like that person...
Fang Pu cast a spell, dispelling the metallic scent of blood that lingered in the air, before speaking: "I wonder how long Zhu Shijie has been training for. Would you like to return to Floating Island to rest for a few days"
His competitor's predicament naturally pleased him, but it also made him see the shortcomings of Zhū Bì Qióng. Learning from the former's failures, he decided to change his approach.
"If Zhúshījie is also returning to Fúdào, could she travel with us"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He was very embarrassed and said: "Fang, I'm not very skilled, and I'm afraid I can't take care of all these junior brothers and sisters."
>
Zhu Biqiong put the peeled animal hide away and then looked at Song Wenhe: "Do you have a finger-powered carriage"
>
“Yes, yes, we brought one.” Fang Pu replied.
Taking the hand fan from her grasp, she offered it warmly: "If you need it, Senior Sister, please take it."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhu Biqiong took the finger-puppet and put it on, then settled her mind for a moment. After a while, she handed it back and said in a calm voice: "Go back along this route, it's safe. I've cleaned them all up."
Did she really kill her way here
>
Fang Pu was taken aback for a moment before hastily taking it: "Ah, yes, thank you, Senior Sister!"
"You're welcome." Zhú Bì Qióng casually replied, then asked, "By the way, I heard that a prodigious genius from the Jing Nation is training in this area. Have you seen him"
All eyes turned to each other, and finally Fang Pu spoke: "Senior sister, did you bring your compass with you"
"Yes," Zhú Bì Qióng nodded, before he could speak again she had already taken her finger out and offered it to him.
Although zhiyu is precious, with Zhú Bì Qióng's current status, it wouldn't be lacking. Moreover, her zhiyu contains more complete and clearer information than a simple jade pendant would.
Fang Pu took the pointer, put it on, adjusted it slightly, then took it off and held it up with both hands: "A few days ago I heard that it should be within the range I designated now."
Zhuge Biqiong took over: “I also thank you.”
“As you wish.” Fang Pu smiled awkwardly and then asked, “I wonder what Sister Zhu has to do with Jing Guo”
“Oh.” Zhú Bì Qióng casually said, “I was just curious.”
She didn't want to say more, just waved her hand and said, "Everyone go back and be careful. Farewell."
Then a blue robe fluttered, stepping into the air with a decisive and swift departure.
The young cultivators present all bowed respectfully.
In the boundless and ethereal realm of the Misty World, Zhu Biqiong, adorned in a blue robe, soared through the skies.
It's not that Gu Huai Xin treated her unfairly or with suspicion. Since he had decided to take her as his disciple and use her to rebuild the sect's confidence, Gu Huai Xin wouldn't be short-sighted. Instead, he truly imparted the true teachings.
Zhuge Biqing herself requested to undergo trials in the Illusory Realm.
A year ago, she couldn't have imagined today.
At Qingyang Town, she was still a young girl who was made to do odd jobs by Jiang Wang. She mostly practiced illusions and complained endlessly. Back then, she was naive and innocent, still believing the world was bright and fair. She had no ambition or desire for cultivation.
When my sister was around, practicing was her urging. After she left, it became a habit of life.
She would rather wander aimlessly on Xiǎngyuè Island, enjoying the warm sea breeze and the clear sky. Or perhaps in a peaceful place like Qīngyáng Town, laughing and playing with dogs with that person...
Only after people realize their responsibilities will they have a sense of urgency for life.
Suddenly, a mirror appeared out of nowhere, blocking my path.
Please note: I can only translate the text content within the tags. HTML tags themselves are not translated.
In the mirror was a beautiful but venomous face.
“Zhu Biqiong! Just now, why didn't you listen to me and kill them all” said the woman in the mirror.
>
"Sister," Zhu Biqiong looked at her, "A few words were rash, not deserving of death."
"If you have covetous desires for me, you should die!" Zhú Sùyuē said venomously: "Don't you see through these people with hearts of beasts Have you forgotten Hu Shàomeng, and why your sister ended up in this state"
“Not everyone is Hu Shao Meng.” Zhu Biqiong said.
"All men are the same! They are promiscuous and abandon people, unfaithful and ungrateful!" Zhu Suyao became furious: "Go, go back and kill them!"
Zhu Bi Qiong swayed her head and said, “Master said that one should not kill unless absolutely necessary. Killing is merely a tool, not the objective.”
Zhú Sù Yáo said: "Killing them is not the purpose, the purpose of killing them is to prevent them from harming others!"
“Sister, you're smarter than me. You know it's not like that.” Zhu Biqiong looked at her: “You just want to kill.”
Zhu Suyao was taken aback, then sneered, "I see you've become quicker. You don't listen to your sister anymore, do you"
Zhu Bi Qiong shook her head and said, "No."
“Then why don’t you make a move Huh” The Zhu Suyao in the mirror was full of resentment: “You keep calling yourself Master, do you still believe in the so-called master-disciple relationship Have you forgotten how that old demoness Bi Zhu treated you”
Zhu Bi Qiong said in a low voice, “Master and Bibi Zhu are different. Besides, Bibi Zhu...”
She lifted her eyes, looking cautiously into the mirror: “She’s at least very good to your sister...”
Zhu Su Yao instantly flew into a rage: "I don't need her to be good to me, I can take care of myself perfectly well. What I need is for her to be good to you, I want her to treat you well!!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Her eyes were filled with tears, but within those tears was a mixture of hatred and resentment. Her hands twisted into claws, almost reaching out from the mirror as if to tear someone's throat out. "She promised me! Before I entered the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, she promised me!!"
>
Zhu Biqiong fell silent.
>
After some time, when Zhu Su Yao's emotions had calmed down.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
She reached out and pressed her hand against the mirror, as if caressing her sister's face. "Sister, don't be sad... You want to kill someone. Let's find a new target."
